Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 132

[Chapter 132 Ning’er’s Heart]

Zhu Jin followed Lin Xiu out of the imperial study and came back half an hour later. He angrily said to Emperor Xia: “Your Majesty, he is too greedy. He actually picked two secret agents to protect the woman he kept outside…”

Emperor Xia waved his hand and said: “Forget it, I can understand him, let him go…”

Zhu Jin paused and said: “There is another thing. All the maids and servants that your majesty rewarded to them and their husbands were dismissed by Zhao Lingjun. She only has a few servants who followed her from the Zhao Mansion…”

This matter was also expected by Emperor Xia. He was not angry, but just said: “Let them go. After all, she is Zhao Lingjun…”

Lin Xiu walked out of the palace with an extremely bright mood.

In the center of the royal capital, a mansion worth 200,000 taels of silver, converted into RMB, is a full 200 million yuan. Even in his previous life, he could not have it.

Two sentences made a man spend 200 million yuan for him. Even in the future, he is a godmother-like figure in a certain circle.

Moreover, in addition to the mansion, he also asked the dog emperor for two bodyguards.

The two female spies were not young, about thirty or forty years old. One was a master of supernatural powers, and the other was a warrior, but her strength was not as high as the old beggar and the peddler, and she was not at the upper level of the Xuan level.

The master of supernatural powers had the ability to control the soil.

She could change the terrain in a small range. With her current strength, her greatest function was to control the soil to form a hard protective shield, which was difficult for ordinary masters of supernatural powers to break.

This was what Lin Xiu had carefully selected for Caiyi.

One of them was good at defense and the other was good at offense, which was enough to deal with most special situations.

If the two of them could not cope with it together, the opponent’s strength must be above the ground level.

But the strong men of the ground level were not stupid. Once they revealed their secret identities, the strong men of the ground level would not dare to act rashly. In this way, Lin Xiu could be completely relieved.

After leaving the palace, the two spies disappeared.

They would quietly protect Caiyi in a place where she could not see.

Lin Xiu returned to his new home. There was nothing here now, and Lin Xiu had to buy some things, such as furniture, bedding, etc.

He did not plan to hire servants. For Lin Xiu, who had a big secret, living alone was the safest and most reliable.

He used to worry that after getting married, his wife would be dissatisfied if he went out every night. Now he realized that he was totally overthinking.

However, it was too tiring for one person to clean and organize a five-story mansion. Lin Xiu planned to ask the old beggar and the peddler to come in and help him. At the door of the mansion, the old beggar and the peddler looked at each other, and then said to Lin Xiu: “We just received an order from the Secret Investigation Department. We two don’t need to protect you anymore.”

Lin Xiu was not much surprised about this.

The dog emperor sent people to protect him because he was afraid that if he died, no one would marry Zhao Lingjun.

Now that the wedding of the two was over, naturally no one would have any thoughts, and there was no need to send secret agents to protect him.

In fact, Lin Xiu was also looking forward to this day.

The strength of the two of them could not keep up with Lin Xiu’s growth speed. Staying by his side for a long time would only make it inconvenient for him to act.

Lin Xiu knew very well that although they were secret agents protecting him, they were also spies planted by the dog emperor beside him.

He was stared at wherever he went, and he was uncomfortable.

After saying goodbye to the two, Lin Xiu came to Ningxiang Pavilion.

He was going to call a few little girls to help him clean the house. He really couldn’t handle such a big house by himself.

Walking into the back hall of Ningxiangzhai, Lin Xiu saw a familiar face.

Xue Ning’er sat at a table with one hand on her chin, her eyes were dull and her expression was blank. She didn’t even notice Lin Xiu coming in.

Lin Xiu walked to sit opposite her and asked, “What are you thinking about?”

Xue Ning’er came back to her senses and looked at the figure that suddenly appeared opposite her. Her expression was a little sad. She reached out to touch Lin Xiu’s face and said, “Are you hallucinating again? It would be great if you were real…”

But the next moment, her hand felt real.

Xue Ning’er was stunned for a moment, and then she retracted her hand like lightning, and said to Lin Xiu apologetically, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it…”

Lin Xiu held her hand. Xue Ning’er’s hand was very cold, so Lin Xiu held it with both hands and passed her body temperature to her.

Xue Ning’er subconsciously wanted to break free, and said in panic: “If Miss Zhao sees this, she will misunderstand…”

Lin Xiu held Xue Ning’er’s hand tightly and did not let go.

After knowing her for so long, he could finally hold her hand like this.

Lin Xiu looked into her eyes and said softly: “Your hands are too cold, I will warm them up for you.”

Feeling the body temperature from Lin Xiu’s hands, Xue Ning’er stopped struggling. She cherished the moment she could spend with Lin Xiu, and lowered her head and said: “I’m sorry, I didn’t go to your wedding night. I, I really couldn’t watch you get married with her…”

Lin Xiu was silent for a moment, and still said: “In fact, Miss Zhao and I are not the kind of relationship you think.”

Lin Xiu did not intend to make the consensus and agreement reached with Zhao Lingjun known to everyone, but he did not intend to hide it from Xue Ning’er.

Xue Ning’er looked at Lin Xiu in confusion and asked, “Aren’t you married? Why do you still call her Miss Zhao?”

Lin Xiu explained, “Although we are husband and wife in name, we are not husband and wife in reality. She left on the night of the wedding.”

Xue Ning’er was stunned when she heard this, and then the expression on her pretty face changed.

It was not joy or happiness, but anger.

She clenched her fists, and her chest was heaving because of anger. She said angrily, “She was married to you in a formal ceremony, and she was welcomed into the house by a sedan chair. She was your wife who had been worshipped by heaven and earth. Why did she do this? She is not worthy of being a wife at all!”

But soon, the anger on her face turned into heartache.

She couldn’t imagine how lonely and heartbroken it was for a person to spend the wedding night?

At this moment, her heart seemed to be held tightly by someone.

She couldn’t understand why the person she cared about so much and liked so much was nothing to Zhao Lingjun?

Xue Ning’er stood up, walked to Lin Xiu, hugged him tightly in her arms, and said with a crying voice: “Don’t be sad, she doesn’t want you, I want…”

Lin Xiu’s face was buried in her chest, almost out of breath. On

the wedding night, it was Lin Xiu who was stood up, but she was more angry than Lin Xiu himself.

Lin Xiu looked at the girl in front of him who had been deeply hurt by him, and his heart was moved.

Her love was not possession.

He stood up, hugged Xue Ning’er in his arms, and said: “It’s okay, she and I have made it clear that we are just nominal husband and wife and do not interfere with each other’s life.”

Xue Ning’er wiped her tears, but still said indignantly: “Why does she do that? She is not a woman of virtue. Is Zhao Lingjun so great? Zhao Lingjun can bully people…”

Lin Xiu patted her back gently and said: “Okay, okay, actually this is not a bad thing. If not, I can’t hold you like this now.”

Xue Ning’er leaned on Lin Xiu’s chest and had never felt so happy.

Yes, she should thank Zhao Lingjun.

If it weren’t for Zhao Lingjun, how could she have Lin Xiu’s embrace?

Although the two were very close in the past, Lin Xiu had never been overly intimate with her. Xue Ning’er could feel that Lin Xiu didn’t dislike her, he was just restraining himself.

He knew his identity, what he could do and what he couldn’t do. He did what Zhao Lingjun’s fiancé should do, but Zhao Lingjun did not fulfill his responsibilities as a wife.

Xue Ning’er should have been grateful to Zhao Lingjun for being able to hug the person she loved like this.

But she hated her even more.

The two hugged each other like this, as if time had stopped and everything in the world had nothing to do with them.

Until a figure walked in from outside.

When Li Baizhang saw Lin Xiu and Xue Ning’er, his eyes suddenly widened, and then he immediately covered his eyes and said, “I didn’t see anything, you continue, continue…”

Not long after, Lin Xiu and Xue Ning’er, who was blushing, came out. Li Baizhang glanced at him and said seriously, “Don’t worry, I won’t say anything, you don’t have to be afraid that Miss Zhao would know…” Lin Xiu

said, “I’m not afraid of her knowing.”

Li Baizhang glanced at him and said, “Do you dare to say this in front of her?”

Lin Xiu didn’t answer him.

Li Baizhang put his arm around Lin Xiu’s shoulders and comforted him, saying, “I can understand your feelings and your suffering. You don’t have to pretend to be strong in front of me…”

Lin Xiu leaned close to Li Baizhang’s ear and whispered.

Li Baizhang was stunned for a moment, staring at Lin Xiu blankly, and said, “Don’t joke, how could there be such a good thing in the world, you don’t have to comfort yourself like this…”

Lin Xiu smiled but said nothing.

Li Baizhang was stunned and murmured, “Is this true?”

Lin Xiu nodded.

Li Baizhang asked, “Why would she agree?”

Lin Xiu asked back, “Why would she disagree?”

Xue Ning’er walked up to Lin Xiu, raised her head slightly, looked at him with loving eyes, and said, “Let’s go to a place where there is no one. I have a lot to say to you…”

She held Lin Xiu’s hand, and their bodies flew up with the wind and soon disappeared in front of Li Baizhang.

Li Baizhang stood there for a long time before he came to his senses. He walked out of the store with a lonely look, shook his head and said, “It’s boring, life is boring…”
